Registration Information

Event Details

Muslims and Christians make up more than 50% of the world’s population. How they relate to one another is pivotal in establishing and maintaining world peace. Are Muslims and Christians working towards uniting humanity or are they directly or indirectly causing more division? Can they work together to address contemporary issues of global magnitude? How can the ideals of interfaith dialogue transform the on-the-ground reality of relations between Christians and Muslims around the globe and particularly here in multi-faith Australia?

AIS will have the privilege of hosting world renowned Professor John Esposito, Professor of International Affairs and Islamic Studies from Georgetown University in Washington D.C to dicuss this thought provoking topic of whether Christians and Muslims can work together to in a globalised world.

Moderating the event will be cultural consultant and activist Tasneem Chopra of the Australian Muslim Women's Centre for Human Rights.

This event is supported by the Catholic Archdiocese of Melbourne and the Australian Catholic University.

Organiser

Australian Intercultural Society

Australian Intercultural Society (AIS) is a not for profit organisation that has been operating in Melbourne since 2000 with the aims of promoting multiculturalism and fostering intercultural and interfaith dialogue. We believe in reaching out to all members of society by providing a platform for cultural and information exchange.

Since its establishment, AIS has organised international study tours, academic conferences, cultural exhibitions, Ramadan multi-faith iftar dinners and government sponsored projects, among other activities. Each event provides ample networking opportunities, so the circle of people wanting to build bridges with other communities and collaborate on projects with AIS grows with each program (www.intercultural.org.au).
